      US made tesla what it is with a lot of state aid and it still failed.

      China won.

      You tried to paint it as if only china provides subsidies as some sort of gotcha.

        LOL what? What makes you say Tesla “failed”? They’re an incredibly large and profitable company.

        You tried to paint it as if only china provides subsidies as some sort of gotcha.

        I did no such thing. You are trying to paint what I said that way as some sort of gotcha. Many countries have EV subsidies. None of them compare to that of those from the CCP.

        The US, for example, has paid approx. $1B in clean vehicle tax credits. China? $230B.

          Chinese EV manufacturers are taking teslas lunch and it is losing relevance.

          The US, for example, has paid approx. $1B in clean vehicle tax credits. China? $230B.

          Yes US only provided tesla with 1b 🤡

          Are stupid or poorly educated? Either confirms you are not having an earnest discussion here. Got some tsla stock? Hehe

          Look at the entire package of state aid provided to Tesla over last 20 years. Starting with those loans.

          Also, note that tesla profitability relies on sale of regulatory credits which is state aid in of itself.

          China beat us in solar and electric vehicle, us can’t even catch it is that bad.

          Musl ruining reputation of the brand don’t hell either.
